The Philadelphia Eagles have reached agreements on one-year contracts with safeties Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. These roster moves follow a busy day of transactions for the Philadelphia secondary.
The veteran signings come immediately after the Eagles traded safety Sydney Brown to the Atlanta Falcons earlier on Friday. By securing Epps and Gray on short-term deals, the Eagles front office has moved quickly to address the vacancy created by the Brown trade.
Marcus Epps is a familiar face for the organization, having spent the previous season with the Eagles. J.T. Gray joins the team with a varied resume, having most recently spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos, and Baltimore Ravens.
Specific financial details regarding the one-year agreements have not yet been disclosed. The dual signings provide the Eagles with veteran depth and special teams experience as they continue to reshape their defensive roster for the upcoming season.
